I'm definitely going to brew this beer. I think it would be a great low alcohol drink for beer pong in my garage for the summer!

So at this point, without reading 28 pages to find out what your mix was, can you share which German hops you blended?

I have another question. All my calculations out this beer at roughly 3% ABV. am I missing something?

Not sure, not at home to check the abv. Start at 1.030 and stops at 1.000.

I'll check for you later unless somebody can chime in...

3.1% abw
3.9% abv

Has anyone tried this recipe with anything other than Cascade or German Noble hops?? I am curious if anyone thinks it would be tasty with Citra, Simcoe, or Amarillo. I have some new hops and I am starting to feel like *everything* uses Cascade.

Not sure if it has the body to support a citrus taste though. Thanks!

I have a batch with Fuggles. It will hit two weeks on the dry hop this Saturday.

While I'm at it. Once it's kegged is it carb and serve or lager a while?

I made this with sorachi ace several times. Sorachi Ace tastes like lemon. This was a good summer beer. Not over doing the hops either bittering or late additions is important. Hitting the 16-18 IBU target, modest dry hopping is best.

Yes, the AE does make it have a parched dry taste when young. Give it a week or two after you have your first snort. Taste it now and then wait a week taste and then try it at week two. The parched taste dissipates quickly.

I like to dry hop for 5-7 days, then keg and carb, then let it sit for about two weeks. I have brewed this five times now! Thanks again.
